"What are you doing here?" Pan Wenguang asked preemptively as soon as he saw Pan Wenxiong.
Pan Wenxiong ignored him and first saluted the clan elders: "Wenxiong would like to send my regards to all my uncles, uncles, uncles and uncles."
The clan elders had just the right smiles on their faces and said one after another: "Wen Xiong doesn't need to be polite."
Pan Wenxiong went ahead and found Princess Huizhen as his backer. Although Princess Huizhen may not be very reliable, it is Pan Wenxiong's ability that Princess Huizhen can support him.
Pan Wenyao looked at the smiles on the faces of the clan elders and guessed a bit of what they were thinking, and couldn't help but snorted. The elders of the Pan family are supported by their direct descendants, but their elbows are bent outwards.
After Pan Wenxiong saluted, he smiled elegantly and said: "I am also my father's biological son. The Pan family wants to choose the head of the family. I am not present. How can this be done?"
This little bastard went back on his word!
Pan Wenguang snorted coldly: "Fourth brother can come, but what's going on with Princess Huizhen? Choosing the head of the family is all a man's business."
Especially Princess Huizhen, who is still wearing all white, which is really unlucky to see.
"Oh. I thought my uncles would be happy if I came. After all, I have a distinguished status, and it is very likely that I will be at a level that none of you here can reach."
Princess Huizhen’s voice was not loud, soft and gentle, but it was very uncomfortable to listen to! But she was right. If her parents were still alive and her grandmother was still alive, why would she be reduced to such a tiny place?
No matter how ruined she was, the emperor never deprived her of her title.
A clan elder stood up tremblingly and saluted Princess Huizhen: "My dear, please give your regards to Princess Huizhen!"
As soon as he took the lead, the other clan elders stood up one after another: "Young people, please pay your respects to Princess Huizhen!"
"Elders, you don't need to be polite." Princess Huizhen's voice was still soft and gentle, "Before, I thought the Pan family was special, but now it seems that all the elders still understand the general situation."
special? What's special? Contempt the royal family? Pan Wenguang felt that his forehead was almost sweating.
He had no choice but to give in temporarily and winked at Pan Lili and Pan Lizhao: "I send my regards to Princess Huizhen."
Pan Wenyao and others had no choice but to follow behind: "I send my regards to Princess Huizhen."
"You don't need to be polite." Princess Huizhen said, "Previously, the clan elders gave me greeting gifts. I am here today to return the gifts to the clan elders. Xiaoman, Spring Equinox."
"Slave, I obey."
Xiaoman and Chunfen stood behind Princess Huizhen holding a large gilt box.
"The clan elders have worked hard for the Pan family over the years. I have thought about it for a long time, but I have nothing to give as a gift, so I have to melt gold into gold beads and give one to each clan elder."
Golden beads! Princess Huizhen is such a generous gift, she actually gave away gold beads!
The cloudy eyes of the clan elders widened the moment they heard Jin Zhu.
Xiaoman opened the box at the right time.
I saw that the box was full of golden beads as big as a little finger!
Not to mention that the Pan family is old, even Pan Wenguang and the other brothers have never seen such a scene!
The faces of the clan elders suddenly turned into smiles: "This, this, no reward for no merit, how can we stand it?"
Princess Huizhen's face was covered by a power barrier, and her voice could only be heard: "Elders are the treasures of the Pan family, and they deserve it. Small gifts are not considered respectful. Elders, please accept them quickly." "Xia, if you don't accept it, you will look down on Huizhen."
Haha, how could you not accept it? Such big gold beads can be used as family heirlooms! If you accept the golden beads, you will be the one protected by Princess Huizhen from now on!
The clan elders who accepted the gold beads looked at Princess Huizhen with loving eyes.
Pan Wenguang felt that he was powerless and incompetent at this time.
He looked at Pan Wenyao. Pan Wenyao's eyes were sinister and he didn't know what he was thinking.
Who would have thought that little bastard Pan Wenxiong would have such luck that Princess Huizhen would side with him.
After giving away and receiving gold beads, the atmosphere in the ancestral hall has completely changed. The clan elders were so happy that they almost couldn't remember what they were here for today.
Oh, Princess Huizhen and Pan Wenxiong are together. If Princess Huizhen supports Pan Wenxiong as the head of the family, then they will have no choice but to support Pan Wenxiong.
But Princess Huizhen didn't mention it.
The clan elder who was the first to greet Princess Huizhen just now said boldly: "Wenxiong is also the biological son of Chengcai. Naturally, he has a share in the selection of the head of the family."
White-eyed wolf! Could it be that a mere golden bead had wiped out all the kindness that the direct descendants of the Pan family had shown them in the past?
Pan Wenguang was so angry that he died.
Just when the clan elders were all siding with Pan Wenxiong and seeing that the situation was not good for them, the servant just now hurried in again: "Uncle, someone from the Qu family is here to discuss something urgent."
Qu family? Is it that his niece recently married into the Qu family from a wealthy family in the capital? What matters could they discuss with him? In the past, Pan Wenguang would have ignored it. But today the arrival of the Qu family is like a life-saving straw: "Quickly, invite people in!"
Pan Wenyao coughed: "Brother, this is the ancestral hall of our Pan family."
Yes, he was confused. How could the ancestral hall invite outsiders in? Pan Wenguang lifted his robe and said, "I'll be right back if I go!"
Seeing Pan Wenguang go out impatiently, Pan Wenyao snorted in his heart: Useless thing.
At this time, Pan Lili said: "Since my father is not here, the matter of choosing the head of the family will be put on hold for now."
When the clan elders heard this, they praised Princess Huizhen one after another: "The princess's magnanimity is really a blessing to the common people!"
Pan Lizhao watched on the side with his teeth itching. Didn't Princess Huizhen pretend to be poor before? Why are you pretending? Just these dozens of gold beads can buy half of Cangzhou City! What's even more outrageous is that these golden beads don't belong to him! Fortunately, he personally picked her up from Hexiang County. There is hard work even without credit!
The person coming from the Qu family is Uncle Qu Jian, the head of the Qu family. Qu Jian is a teacher at a state primary school. His family is poor and he has little connection with the Pan family. But the Pan family is the first of the five major surnames in Cangzhou, and Qu Jian recognized Pan Wenguang.
Not long ago, the daughter of Qu Jian's sister who married to Xinzhou married to the capital. Pan Wenguang also heard about this, but he didn't take it seriously. His cousin was still the head of Jiaqing County, and he didn't give much face to her.
Qu Jian was waiting outside, looking anxious. When he saw Pan Wenguang, he saluted Pan Wenguang: "Uncle Pan, please!"
Pan Wenguang was stunned: "Brother Qu, what on earth is going on?"
Qu Jian said eagerly: "Didn't my niece Ouyang marry the eldest grandson of Huang Han, the former Minister of War? Mr. Huang's granddaughter, Mrs. Huang, came to Cangzhou today to give gifts to our Qu family. Everything is fine. Okay, but she disappeared after she checked into your inn, oh, Pan's inn!"
Pan Wenguang was stunned. What happened to Cangzhou City recently? Why are the nobles in the capital so busy going to Cangzhou City?
He licked his lips and said, "Maybe Mrs. Huang thought Cangzhou City was fun and went out to play on her own."
Qu Jian shook his head: "Madam Huang is a noble lady. When she came to Cangzhou City, she brought more than thirty maids to protect her. She is new to Cangzhou City. How can she go out without her own maids and guards?"
A young lady from the capital, with so many people waiting on her? Pan Wenguang felt that his head hurt even more.
"Brother Qu, do you suspect that Dr. Chajiu in our Pan's Inn has kidnapped Mrs. Huang?"
Qu Jian said nothing, but the look on his face betrayed him.
"How is it possible? Not to mention that our Pan family doesn't care about that little money, our Pan family also has a noble daughter from the capital. Have you heard of Princess Huizhen? She is a guest in our Pan family right now." Pan Wenguang In order to clear his suspicion, Princess Huizhen had to be carried out.
But Qu Jian still looked at him with burning eyes.
"Report to the official, report to the official! Just report to the official!"
